Although August Burns Red's music is often defined as Christian metalcore, JB Brubaker mentioned in an interview with Shout!, an online magazine, that "Christian is a religion and not a style of music," and he would "rather just let the music speak for itself." However, Brent Rambler commented on the fact that "It is important to us that people know that we are indeed Christians…without having us stand up there and ram it down people's throats."
